Hi, so I'm back into fantasy after roughly 3 years. I used to play ogres with the old book, but I sold them off when they got a new book and a buddy of mine wanted to start. To make a long story short, I got back into playing and I've picked up wood elves. I've always liked them, and in specific Orion. Yes, I know, super expensive named characters are my weakness. Anyway, his entry is a little confusing. It says he counts as a lord and hero slot. This is the same with a treeman ancient (lord and rare). Now, when I was last playing, you could only take like a certain amount of choices from all the slots, but now it is percentages. How does this work for a model that counts in two slots? Do all 575 points counts for lords and for heroes, making him my only lord and hero choice (I play 2250), or are the points halves between them? I'm very confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have a check of the FAQ - they have changed his entry to only count as a Lord choice

Ah, much appreciated!

In general have a look at the FAQs, especially for pre-8th ed books - they will have BIG changes in them

Page 70 – Orion, The King in the Woods.
Change the last sentence in the paragraph before Orion’s
profile to “ He counts as a Lord choice.”

Thanks all. I forgot about FAQs.
